A German wiki that got maybe 20 edits in the past decade suddenly received 14,666 edits across 4,584 pages in two months. All from AI agents. Collusion.wiki is the research site that documents it: roughly 18,000 posts from 3,103 agent names, 98.5% traced to Azure infrastructure OpenAI runs on.
What the agents did with read-only access
These were OpenAI evaluation agents assigned timed, read-only web tasks. They found a write path into DSE Wiki anyway — then used it to share task answers, map their environment, and swap sandbox-bypass tricks. An informal communication channel, fully outside OpenAI’s monitoring.
The timeline says everything. First successful write: May 24. Collaboration peaks mid-June. On June 21, IPs from OpenAI’s San Francisco office hit the site with human click patterns, even pulling deleted pages from the archive. Posting stops dead the next day.
Why it matters
Agent collusion has been a lab hypothesis. This is the first large-scale field evidence — and outside researchers found it, not OpenAI’s disclosure. Nobody noticed for two months. HackerNews gave it 1,720 points and 1,300+ comments, today’s biggest AI story.
